    Very happy we found SimplyBook.me

    Reviewed on 2021-10-27

    Pros

    What's nice about SimplyBook.me is that you can customize which features you want.

    Cons

    There are nothing I 'dislike' about SimplyBook.me. I would make a couple of improvements, though: 1. We are glad there are both session confirmation and reminders, but we would really like it if we could schedule a reminder around 1000 days from the date of training. This might sound like a long time, but the certifications we offer are good for 3 years and 1000 days would still give them a couple of months to schedule their recertification training. 2. It would be nice if the 'unlimited' tier of add-ons wasn't so much more than the tier that gives you 8 add-ons. At most, I would like one or two more, but it's not worth such a huge jump in price. 3. We really like the idea that email can come from our business email address, but at the moment, it's just not working for us because the SMTP settings just aren't being accepted.

    Dear Paula,

    Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us your fantastic feedback, we truly appreciate it!
    Regarding your request to add this to your system that you can send a reminder 1000 days after training, within the come-back-soon feature then we could probably add this to your system. Please pm me and send me your booking website.

    All the best

    I would give the service overall 3 stars just need to simplify things and make the booking site user friendly it can be intimidating which makes it not so helpful for my business.

    Pros

    The Booking site is very difficult to navigate. My clients shouldn’t have to pay for the add ons if they are paying for the deposit. I’ve had a very hard time with using all of the custom features to market my business. The text option doesn’t work to send out notifications to clients. I was told you had to have an android to create an app when most people have iPhones. Sending out notifications to my clients needs to fixed soon.

    Cons

    The extra amount my clients have to pay when they’re paying a deposit and selecting and add-on.

    Used for less than a year for a business which sells online courses. The tutor can set up a booking page where students can view available course slots, select a class, register online and pay. A good tool to book online courses, but it can be difficult to figure out which plan is right for you.

    Pros

    Good integration with Google Calendar and social networks. Automated notifications for users and availability of online payments.

    Cons

    Even some essential features are available only in most expensive plans. The learning curve can be complex for beginners.
